Sep 12, 2019
On 3rd September, 2019, China Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE) issued a notice to publish the Framework Guide to the Technology Methods of Environmental Risk Assessment for Chemical Substances (Trial), which is an important supporting document for Environmental Risk Assessment and Control Regulation for Chemical Substances. This Guide specifies the basic framework for risk assessment, and clarifies the basic points, technical requirements, and report preparation as well. It is worthy noticing that the Guide applies to environmental risk assessments of different exposure pathways for the normal production and use of a single chemical substance, and does not apply to risk assessment under accidental exposure conditions.

ANALYSIS
China's VOC Management and Impact on the Chemical Industry
Sep 09, 2019
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic chemicals that have a low boiling point (below 250ºC) at atmospheric pressure. While most of them are not acutely toxic, they are known to have negative long-term effects on human health. According to a study published in 2017, in China the use of VOC-containing products is the main source of VOC emissions, contributing about 75% of total emissions. Other sources are the production of VOCs (10%), the use of VOCs as raw materials (9%) and storage/transportation of VOCs (5%).

China’s New Pollutants Treatment: A Long Way to Go
New pollutants refer to toxic and hazardous substances that are discharged into the environment with characteristics of biological toxicity, environmental persistence and bioaccumulation, etc. They tend to possess significant risks to the ecological environment or human health, but are usually unregulated or the existing regulation measures are insufficient. As one of the largest chemical producers in the world, it is paramount for China to strengthen the regulation of new pollutants to mitigate potential risks to the environment and human health.
